Triouxper, UMDDogz and Runninwiththedogs are two of the coolest hockey fans around that you could meet. I've met up with them more than once at Joe Senser's in Bloomington and enjoy having them on the board. We had a very friendly time last year at a PACKED Senser's for the UND/UMD game and they asked me to join them at their table since I got there late and risked watching the games from my truck in the parking lot. If it weren't for their "useless" information and musings here on the board, I probably would have never started hanging out there once in a while. And if I wouldn't have started hanging around Sensers, I would have never met BigChief. And if I hadn't met BigChief, the SiouxSports.com hockey team wouldn't have been able to borrow my green broomball jerseys for their game last year against the artists formerly known as PrideOnIce.com. And if they hadn't... And guess what? I gotta fee-vah...and da only prescription...is more cowbell!

Wait a second...isn't that song about smoking pot?

jloos, I just have to say it, since The Family Guy is one of my all-time favorite TV shows: giggity giggity...all riiiiiiight!

Black Betty no more at UNH Hockey Games OK, not directly related to Sioux hockey or the Sioux nickname, but another interesting article on PC battles going on. You just can't make this stuff up anymore... In another interesting side-note, the Minnesota Wild no longer play Gary Glitter's famous song after a goal is scored. The new song sounds a bit like the "whoa oh oh" song the Rangers play when they score.

That's because he paid the basement rent on time and you didn't, Runninwiththedogs!

I was at this game and seated right inside the blue line with a perfect view of that hit. It was without a doubt Brad DeFauw. I remember commenting to my buddy at the time "ohmygod...DeFauw just KILLED that guy!" and couldn't wait to get home and watch the VCR tape of that hit. No sooner did we arrive back in Roseville, I ran to my living room and found that moment. Absolutely perfect. No one else in the view of the screen except a BU player and all of a sudden you hear the sound of of DeFauw's skates as he comes to a screeching halt before leveling the afore-mentioned Terrier. Best hit I've ever seen.

Great insight in that article! Surprisingly enough, a BC alum ranks BC/BU as the greatest college hockey rivalry of all time.

Priceless. I remember jumping out of my seat when the puck went by DeBus. Of course, I also remember heckling two Gopher fans sitting five rows in front of me. These clowns both had the same replica jersey on and during a key quiet moment in the game, I blurted out at the top of my lungs "hey everybody, it's discount night on Jesse Bertigliot jerseys over at Gold Country!". Our whole section started laughing and it was a few moments later when these Einsteins realized I was heckling THEM! Second priceless moment of that year: the Sioux fan holding up the sign after the BU game that read: I JUST PEED MY PANTS.

AZSIOUX showing his youth...and me showing my age by not remembering the score correctly.

Psssssst...your youth is showing, AZSIOUX. I'll cut straight to the chase and go with the last category. For me, nothing can top the 1997 WCHA Final Five when former Edina Hornet Peter Armbrust buries a rebound in OT to give the Sioux a 4-3 victory over the Gophers. All those dejected Gopher fans had to be thinking "it's 1989 all over again" at the old St Paul Civic Center. You gotta believe...and I think that Sioux team right then and there realized that it was possible for the impossible to come true. They sealed the deal a short time later with a 6-4 win over BU in the 1997 NCAA title game.

Michigan Tech is the "host" school for the midwestern regional, skippy. While it would seem attractive to put the U of Wisconsin in Green Bay, the selection committee isn't obligated to send the Badgers to Green Bay.

WPoS!

Jerome Bettis feels good enough about it to retire.

I had no vested interest in the game, being a fan of either team, nor having any money bet on the game, so the thought that I'm a biased viewer is thrown out the window. Honestly, though, the officiating "taints this win severely? Really? Any more-so than the "tuck-rule" made Tom Brady just a one-time Super Bowl MVP in pre-game introductions yesterday? Two years from now, no one will remember the officiating. They will remember that Pittsburgh won Super Bowl XL.

That's another issue. The ONLY good thing about the constant chatter about Bettis returning to Detroit was that no one asked about Brett Favre for about 48 hours.

The d-back pushed the receiver at almost exactly the same time. I've got no biases towards either team and my first reaction was "you're kidding me, that's pass interference?". Seen Randy Moss' move to get open lately? Gimme a break!

Are you kidding me? As a fan of football, the officiating in this game should disgust everyone. Let's start with the first Seahawk touchdown being 86'd because of offensive pass interference. Jackson and the d-back essentially run into each other and both put their arms up (very gently at that), and Jackson gets called for the penalty? OK, that's number one. Number two...the long pass to Stevens that ends up down at the one yard line called back because of holding. Even Madden was wondering where the holding was on that play. Late in the game...a chop block penalty on the quarterback? Hasselbeck was trying to make a tackle for crying out loud! What on earth would he be throwing a chop block for? That 15 yard gain certainly helped Pittsburgh. And how about that phantom touchdown. The referee didn't come in immediately and give an emphatic signal. He wandered in, looked where the ball was, then put his arms up. I'll concede that the review didn't do much of anything and give it the benefit of the doubt, but it was pretty clear on the field that the referee didn't call it a TD until he saw where the ball was well after Ben had been tackled (and moved it one foot forward across the goal line). The fix was on!

Are you in Colorado Springs this weekend, NorthDakotaHockey?

I thought it was your tradition to have a beer after every line change.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD!

Vhat?

Read the quote, jk. I didn't say TH directly, I said "every time I see a post on here regarding a comment from TH...".

LOL...hope the fans brought plenty of hats.

And hopefully not tomorrow night either!

With all due respect, every time I see a post on here regarding a comment from TH, it's always "Sioux got hosed," "terrible call," or "weak."
